reduced by Drs.' Smith and Brown.

The trustees are considering the matter
OF new church. 1t has arrived at a
time when the much needed edifice is al
most certainty. Just where it will be
erected has not yet been decided. We
venture the prediction that wen the
house is completed the movers in the at.
fair will wonder why it hasn't been done
before and how they could have dis.
pensed with the building so long.
Rev. Dorward will start tor Inwood

The boom in Cheyenne has resolved
itself into a permanent one. Real estate
is bought and sold at every corner of the
street; money which has been boarded up
somewhere for the past few months is
once more in circulation, all kinds of bust
ness is picking up, and the city presents a
far different appearance from what it did
one month ago. Several additional sales
were made yesterday and last evening,
and such was the activity in this line of
business that a certain real estate man
who has no partner to assist him clainsto
have made 81 900 in the business Of buy
ing and selling real estate. That after
months Of waiting and Watching more
prosperous times have come to Cheyenne
all can readily see. That these prosper
Gus times are destined to continue indei-
nitely there can be no doubt.

COMING.
The Denver & Rio Grande r. II. Point
Ing This Way.

An apparently well founded rumor was
IN circulation in Cheyenne yesterday that
the Denver & Rio Grandc Railroad COM
pany had bought of the Union Pacific the
Colorado Central track from Fort Collins
to Colorado Junction. and that the COM
pany would utilize this line of road in
coming to Cheyenne, which could be done
with little expense. The Denver & Rio
Grande is a narrow guage road. and it is
claimed by those who have some chance
OF knowing that the objective point OF
the road, as would be said in military op-
e%rations, is Iron Mountain.
1t is stated on authority of railroad
men, from personal inspection, that the
Denver & Rio Grande has already begun
to work this side of Greeley, and aiming
in a general way in this direction. Union
Pacific railroad men who were in Greeley
on Sunday report this as a fact. VIII I
these rumors and movements mean, time
will develop; but from all hat can be
learned and observed in the matter, THE
LEADER can readily say that the Denver
& Rio Grande is probably coming"
The rumor, which is in circulation, that
the Denver & Rio Grandc has secured the
land formerly belonging to l.. r. Bresna-
hen and lying just west of the city, on
being traced up yesterday appears to have
no foundation as yet.

The Wyoming Commandery of Knights
Templar has ordered the erection of an
asylum on the lot directly west of THE
LEADER office, al a cost OF s35, 900. The
building will have brick walls and stone
and iron front; it will be three stories high
and ITO feet deep. The first floor will be
used for commercial purposes, the second
in part for Offices, the rest for command.
cry purposes, while the third will be de.
voted entirely to the use of the order.
The members Of the commandery have
raised 5 1000 at once and it is probable
that several thousand more will be raised
among them, while a number of other
leading citizens propose to subscribe loans
for the purpose. Work will be com

called Charlie" Miller, was doing at Hot

solved. Charlie went down there to re-
cuperate a little, take a few baths and see
the people. He has recuperated, taken
the baths, and has done everything he
vent do3 there to do, except seeing
the people" Charles sees the people
every day several times and occasionally
when the shades of evening round me
gather" The people," however,

and talented young widow who halls from

oLEsoN ACQUITTED.
An Expense of Seventy Dollars for
Nothing.

The case of the Territory Of Wyoming
vs.. Olaf Oleson, charged with petit lar
ceny, was heard before Judge Fisher yes
terday forenoon, County Attorney Seoll
appearing for the prosecution and Messrs.
j. c. Thompson and T. NJ. Fisher for the
defendant. A jury was impaneled to try
the case and considerable interest was
manifested as to the result.
The evidence was not particularly clear
in some respects, but it appeared that the
chain valued at $l0) was found in a field
adjoining Phillips ranch, and afterward
it wss suggested to tho defendant by tw o
other parties that it you'd be well u
bring the chain to Cheyenne, for by s.
doing it might be disposed of. The chain
was brought a short distance toward this
city. but finding the Job of carrying ii
to Cheyenne a bigger one than they had
anticipated, the three parties, one oil
whom was the defendant, threw the chain
into the bushes close to the creek where
it was atterward found by Mr.. Phillips.
There vas some evidence which tended to
make out a stronger case than this, but
the defendant was promptly acquitted by
the jury.
In figuring the matter up Judge Fisher
ascertaiued that the costs in the case
amounted to about $40, which the county
will of course have to pay.

kirkland,s Pictures.

The last issue of Frank LeSlie's con-
tains a number of pictures of round up
scenes engraved from photographs taken
by G. d. Kirkland, of this city. 1t is
needless to say that the pictures are cx-
cellent and reflect credit not only upon the
photographer but upon our town also,
which in this way is becoming more ex-
tensively advertised In the East than it
could perhaps in any other way. Among
the pictures contained in Leslic's is one of
a cowboy in which the grim visagc of
w. i. Nisscher is readily recognized.

The Corner Stone.

Z The meeting called for tomorrow night
to consider the question Of laying the cor
ner stone of the capital, which will occur on
May IS, ought to be universally attended
by u citizens. That appropriate and
inspiring ceremonies ought to be held on
that occasion Of course all will admit, but
this can only be done through the CO.
operation Of our citizens with the capitol
commissioners, for while these gentlemen
are DESTROYS Of having the occasion OBJ
served with proper exercises. they are I'M
fortunately so situated that they cannot
divert cent of the funds under their CON
troll from the purpose for which they have
been supplied, for paying the expenses
which will be incurred through a proper
observance of the occasion. The city of
Cheyenne as a municipality, if it is posi-
BILE to do SO, ought to make an appro-
priation for this purpose.
